The esteemable George Pell, owner of the Suffolk in Aldeburgh, has bought a pub. We expect you’ll want to head that way with determined regularity in the summer. But until Pell’s place opens, try the Dolphin Inn in Thorpeness, a village north of Aldeburgh once owned by the Ogilvie family, which made a fortune in railways in the early 1800s. Most of the land was sold off in the 1970s, but descendent Hamish Ogilvie still owns the Meare, an artificial boating lake.
Country pub of the week: the Dolphin, Thorpeness
